I will try to soothe it with ice cream later while watching TV...

I am thinking the Tom objected to my taking a sample of the saliva in his trachea...

Here is the last son of a snake.. same broody pen and all..

this is the only breeder pen the dogs can't patrol. also the most snake effected out of all of them.

You need some kind of snake trap in there or animal that will eat snakes

they eat so much that they can't go out the small hole they came thru.
I knew there was a prob when the hens were perched and not boxed.. they haven't perched in 40 days maybe.. to scared to box now
